News Horizon Chase Turbo releases on Switch & Xbox One with new features

Nintendo Switch and Xbox One players can now enjoy the retro-inspired racer Horizon Chase Turbo today complete with exclusive content for each platform in the shape of the new Playground mode and more.

The Playground mode is described as a “rotative competition” which contains five new races each time. The time-limited tracks keep things varied with various modifiers applied such as time attack races with no opponents, weather and time of day changes, reversed tracks, infinite nitrous, car restrictions, sandstorms, and volcanoes, no really.

Switch and Xbox One owners of Horizon Chase Turbo can also expect custom paint jobs for all 32 cars, including 6 exclusive car skins on each platform, as well as a new car. You can get a good idea of the new features in the video below.

Horizon Chase Turbo is very much a love letter to classic 16-bit racers such as Top Gear and Out Run. To help hammer home the nostalgia, the racer uses a catchy contemporary soundtrack composed by the legendary Barry Leitch (Top Gear, Lotus, and Rush series).

We believe Horizon Chase Turbo is becoming that kind of essential game to play with your family and friends at home.”, affirms Sandro Manfredini, Aquiris’ Business Director.
